Charlie started life in Southern California, which automatically means he he grow up being a part of the movie business, the television industry, the Wiccan community, the music industry, national defense contractors, NASA, and of course, computers.

On top of all of that, he grew up being with spooks (real ones – CIA are creepy guys; and not so real ones – ghost are not that bad, at least not after the CIA), specters,ghost-lights, wee tiny-beasties, ghouls, demons, goblins, spirits, Satan-worshipers, Catholics, Jesuits, gypsies, and the occasional fallen angel (what bums those guys are!) Charlie thought it was way past time to share his horrific point-of-view with the rest of the world.
